The Kardashian Christmas Card Features the Entire Family, Including Kim Kardashian's Deceased Kitten

The Kardashian clan's 2012 Christmas card looks much more animated than last year's somber, formal affair. Except for the cat.

You know it's Kristmas when the Kardashian-Jenner family holiday card gets tweeted out around the world.

Kim Kardashian posted the 2012 holiday card on her official blog saying, "Here it is!! Our 2012 family Christmas card shot by the amazing Nick Saglimbeni! We had such a fun time shooting this! What do you think of the final pic??"

Lamar, Scott and Kendall were so busy that they couldn't make it to the shoot and all three had to be photoshopped into the image.

Kanye West was not included in the Christmas card — not even via photoshop. But the kitten that West gave to Kim is. You can see Mercy, the white long-haired kitten inside a white box.

Why anyone would put a kitten in a box and not hold it is confusing. Unless it was because Kim found out she was allergic to Mercy. So she gave Kanye's furry present to one of her sister's assistants. The cat died a few weeks later, allegedly of a rare form of cat cancer.
